Friday Favorites

WOW. Today was a crazy busy day. From signing yearbooks (I know…my job is really tough) to cleaning out my classroom and desk (I did find a bag of starburst that I forgot about which made me really happy), I am more than ready for a nap. So let’s go over a few of my favorite things today:)

1. Deleted;)

2. Even though I will really miss my students I couldn’t be more excited for summer. I am a FREE WOMAN. Sorry to whoever gets my classroom next because those picture frames are not coming off….turns out heavy duty velcro tears the wall off with it.

3. This Pina Colada salad is in my top 10 favorite salads ever, don’t believe me…just take a look at my scrapbook that I made with pictures of favorite salads ever and you will believe me. Toasted coconut, macadamia nuts, almonds and pineapple are the best combination ever. I chose where to go for our faculty lunch today and everyone thanked me over and over again for being so smart when it comes to choosing restaurants. (Slight exaggeration…only one person said something).

4. A dessert from a student to thank me for making him run more than he ever thought possible in PE. Lemon desserts have jumped to the top of my list from here on out. Check out the mini spoon!

5. I am 27 weeks today, HRG Baby update coming soon! Don’t be too jealous of my pinned back hair, I can do a tutorial on how to do it like this if you want.

6. It is Friday so that means I have my ‘long’ run tomorrow which is always a favorite!

What are some of your favorite things about today?

I laid out for 40 minutes but felt like I was melting every second I was outside.
I subbed at a high school and wrote 4 disciplinary cards in the 2 hrs I was there! I think thats a record!
I am hanging out with 3 kiddos tonight at 7 and we are making TRIX rice krispie treats. I am PUMPED!

Tell me about your long run, race or awesome workout that you will be doing this weekend!!

I am spinning tomorrow and then doing a long run on Monday. IDK how long though :/

First one to comment?!?!? I feel like I have achieved something great! Some favorite things about today is that it is Friday! At work out system went down at corporate office which meant not really too much work to do!

favorite things about today are babysitting for the cutest 5 week old twin boys and their 18 month old sister AND dinner with my best friend soon :)

Sunday i have six miles on the calendar for my marathon training plan. it’s supposed to be 92 degrees so i’ll probably be getting up at an ungodly hour to beat the heat. totally worth it for a good run though!

Yay!! School is out! That must be nice. I miss those days when summer came and freedom hit. It was the best! That salad does look way yummy. I never would have thought of that combo.

Hmhmhmhm well I have started to pack everything up because we are moving next Thursday into a new apt with a dishwasher and washer/dryer. I cannot tell you how excited I am!!!! I dread going to the laundry mat.

I was just going to do 8 tomorrow but I may decide to go for 10. Why not :)

I need to know where that salad is from asap! I can thank you a million times (no exaggerations this time!) in return.

Your bump is so cute and so high. Looks like the old wives tale holds true for you.

I am hoping to get my long run in tomorrow, but after doing 17 miles last Saturday at the Ogden Marathon (I did the 1st 7 of my relay group then helped pace another friend doing the full) we shall see how it goes. Plus this week it feels like someone is sitting on my chest when I exercise or whenever I lay down. I have been having a hard time sleeping and it has made for some crappy runs. It feels like I can’t get all my air in and out. I am hoping it goes away soon cause I don’t like it.

Three cheers for a free Summer to sleep in, run whenever you want and hang out with the fam! You are livin the life!

My dearest Megan! I MISS YOU!! Ha, I don’t know why it is so high but it is making it hard to breath. 17 last saturday…you are incredible and it made me tired just reading that! Let me know how your run goes and boo to the chest thingee…are you sick?!?! You really are right…it is living the life!

I literally LOL at some of your posts sometimes. Today being one of them due to “Don’t be too jealous of my pinned back hair, I can do a tutorial on how to do it like this if you want.” hahah I love it. Yay for summer vacation starting!

So excited for this weekend – running my first relay race ever this weekend! It’s a 275km 17-leg race around one of the prettiest places ever. I can’t wait!! I think my leg counts as my weekend long run :)

Congratulations on finishing up work – it must be so nice to be done and to have some free time! Enjoy it – and have a great weekend :-)

I have a sick little one, and even though I HATE my kids being sick, they are just extra cuddle-y and lovey when they are sick. Spent the day snuggling with my little girl and reading books, coloring, and watching her favorite TV shows. Plus we played in the “elevator” which is really my son’s closet that they pretend is an elevator. It’s very sweet to watch my kids play together!

So maybe you’ve covered this and I’ve missed it (if so, I’m sorry!). Billy is going to law school somewhere next year, right? So you guys are moving. But I’m guessing you don’t have a new job lined up yet? Are you planning on working next school year, or no because of the baby? Just curious! :)

Summer seems to be the perfect time for lemon desserts. I can’t get enough either! Congrats on the end of the school year…now you have all the time in the world to enjoy pregnancy and running and life :)

Today was my last day of school too! YAY for summer freedom! Are you planning on teaching next year wherever y’all move?

My very first “long” run in my half marathon training is tomorrow, but it’s only 4 miles. It’s supposed to be 97 degrees here with high humidity (as always), so I’m getting up pretty early on my first day of summer to get my run in.

I’m doing my long run this morning with a buddy, which I am so excited about because it has been WAY too long. However, I’m drinking coffee before a run for the first time..so we’ll see how that goes! :)

I had a 10 mile run scheduled for today. It was raining when I left but I don’t mind that. 1.37 miles in and the thunder and lightening started. I raced home after that. That is the only thing I will not run in. Since I live in Wisconsin and the weather here is nutty, tomorrow will be a 90 degree sunny day so I will get up early and do my run then.

Aww your belly is getting so big! I am so excited for you! You really need this summer vacation!
What are your plans for after the baby comes? Will you and Billy already be moved to which ever law school he chooses? Are you going to work? Sorry just curious, I absolutely adore you girl!
